Fred's argument totally is a logical fallacy; however pointing that out does not require Rakuen to make his own argument. In his own terminology, it's an ad hominem attack. He is adding no argument to no argument; it's a passive aggressive, no sum game, and it would have been better to just not acknowledge Fred, especially since Rakuen himself had nothing of substance to add.
Apologies if this wasn't in reply to me; threading of the page and all.
